On 1ST JANUARY I will change the name of this blog and all my social media to:
'Postcards from Mel'
Postcards are just such a nice thing to receive. People don't send postcards much these days but when they do, it's always a nice moment for the recipient. I really want to create that feeling with my blog.

And after that, on to Finland...

Anyone who gave up on dry January after the first day will probably want to throw things at me by the end of this update because today I'm going to be all inspired and happy about my productive January!
But if it makes you feel better, I completely failed at giving up chocolate this month. In fact, I failed so hard that my local cafe began giving me free chocolate truffles as a thank you for ordering so many on a daily basis. Maybe it's ok to fail sometimes...

If anyone finds a pile of knickers in the street they're mine!
I bought a bunch of pants from Victoria's secret to keep me going on my trip. But all I have to show for it is a rain soaked bag with the bottom missing!

Yesterday i was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It’s a relatively common condition so if, like me, you’ve been going back and forward to the doctor for years with multiple health problems and no clear outcome, you may want to look into this.
